Hey Seddit.

I understand that Reddit has a "neckbeard" connotation and isn't known for their outstanding level of physical fitness.

I'm an average guy, I (thankfully) have a great metabolism. I'm not naturally scrawny, nor ripped. However, a coworker/buddy/business partner of mine goes to the gym two or three times a week. I started tagging along, and my god.

First of all, the first few days SUCK. If you're lifting, you feel like you can't even get dressed in the morning after the first time you work out. However, in my case, I saw results QUICK. After you do an hour in the gym, your muscles are swollen, and when you catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror changing back into your clothes - you'll see who you're about to become. Embrace that, because that's the guy you see girls going home with. They're the ones that can toss a girl around in bed a bit, lift them up and fuck them however they want - and the girls love it.

Second of all, my biggest fear, was looking like a total noob. I have no fucking clue how to lift, what to lift, where to focus on. The internet is very helpful with this, and most of the machines have instructions and diagrams on them. Believe it or not, most of the guys there are WAY willing to spot you and help you out with whatever you ask them. They were in your shoes once, they're just a few steps further in their inner game department.

Please, for your own good, try the gym. Once or twice, just TRY IT. If not, try yoga. Just get a physically fit, it's a natural antidepressant and you'll feel like a total winner. Now I feel guilty when I don't go, and I love it.

I know this is seddit, but please, don't try to pick up girls at the gym. Focus on improving yourself and your inner game. As soon as you become the man you want to be, the girls come naturally.
